## Resource

A massive chemical explosion at a paper mill in Longview, Washington, sent shockwaves through the community early Tuesday morning, injuring nine workers and a firefighter, with fatalities confirmed and several still missing. Caused by a ruptured tank of corrosive “white liquor,” the blast has left officials scrambling to secure the site — though no wider threat exists. This isn’t the first disaster at the facility, which suffered a major fire last July. Meanwhile, in California, a potentially explosive chemical tank in Orange County was safely contained after triggering a 50,000-person evacuation — a reminder of how volatile industrial sites can be.
